Generative AI (GenAI) can support and enhance teaching and learning in new ways. However, GenAI's use and rapid pace of development also introduce challenges and questions about academic integrity, copyright protection, transparency and other concerns.

What is GenAI?

Generative Artificial Intelligence, commonly called GenAI, is a form of machine learning that analyzes and processes large datasets to find patterns and structures, which are then used to create new content including text, video, audio, images and code in response to a query or prompt. 

This collection of CITL resources and services supports your exploration of questions about GenAI like:

• What is GenAI?
• How should I talk to my students about using GenAI?
• How can GenAI tools support or inform my teaching practice?
• Where can I discuss GenAI use, developments and concerns with my peers?
• What do I need to do to stay up to date on GenAI developments?

To address those questions and more, we've organized our GenAI resources and supports according to CITL's Lines of Innovation, which are a blueprint for flexible and modern learning environments, inspiring and empowered instruction, responsive and reputable programming, and engaged and successful learning.
